-one is about making anime. other is about seiyuus
-both show the dark side of industry. girlish number delves a bit deeper
-both teach you how hard making anime is and how much hard work is put in
-both have a varied and lively cast, many of them being relatable
-both seem cutesy at first but are much more than that
-both are about work
Really recommend one if you liked the other. It would be 100% worth it. if not anything, you will at least be able to appreciate the people who work behind the scenes of this medium--anime.

Both animes are about anime. Shirobako is mostly about the creation of anime itself, animating, voice acting, and the producing of said anime. Girlish number is about anime but lends a little more towards the voice actor side with a focus on the seiyuu/idol experience of promoting the anime they star in.

Both are about the Anime Industry and feature cute girls as the main characters. Despite this, they both put a realistic over an idealistic view of the industry as a whole.

Gi(a)rlish Number gives you an insight into the industry, just as Shirobako does. But from a completely different point of view. Well, if Shirobako offers a cheerful, positive, and fun perspective on the processes involved in the production of an anime, then Gi(a)rlish Number is just the opposite, showing the negative and unprofessional way, jealousy, bribery, giving or accepting inappropriate benefits and other forms of corruption, as well as the damage caused by this breach of duty. One could now object that Shirabako considers all the individual steps up to the final product and Gi(a)rlish Number "only" the aspect of the dubbing actors (Seiyū). However,

If Shirobako is an earnest series looking to educate the public on the inner workings of an animation studio, Gi(a)rlish Number is a more cynical look on all issues that can occur during the making of an anime. Gi(a)rlish Number is mostly told from the perspective of anime voice actors however. There is some overlap as they both explore production issues and problems with lazy or incompetent staff. However, Gi(a)rlish leans into this element more heavily to create a rather fascinating yet hilarious series.
